project-context-setup

project-context-setup is a skill for Claude Code from Mathews-Tom/armory. It costs 109 tokens per session (1,143 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool that creates repository-local files for shared agent context, including issue-tracking rules, a glossary, architecture-decision records, and handoff notes. It first inspects the repository before writing these files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a repository lacks shared agent guidance or when several agents need consistent project vocabulary and durable task briefs.
Why use it?
It prevents coding agents and team members from using different terms, issue labels, or workflow conventions across sessions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

project-context-setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Context Setup

Scaffold the repo-local context files that make agent workflows consistent across sessions: issue tracker rules, triage labels, domain glossary layout, ADR layout, agent brief format, and out-of-scope memory.

When To Use

Use this skill Use another package
A repo lacks docs/agents/ context files adr-writer for one architecture decision
Agents need consistent domain vocabulary task-decomposer for an already-scoped feature
Triage or issue publishing needs label conventions github for direct GitHub CLI operations
Multi-agent work needs durable issue briefs handoff for session-local continuation notes

Reference Files

File Contents Load When
references/context-format.md CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md glossary format Creating or editing domain docs
references/agent-brief.md Durable ready-for-agent issue brief contract Preparing issue handoff
references/out-of-scope.md Persistent memory for rejected enhancements Triage includes wontfix decisions

Core Workflow

1. Explore

Inspect the actual repo state before writing:

  • git remote -v and .git/config for issue tracker hints
  • root AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md
  • root CONTEXT.md and CONTEXT-MAP.md
  • docs/adr/ and context-scoped ADR directories
  • existing docs/agents/
  • existing .out-of-scope/

Report what exists and what is missing. Do not overwrite existing files blindly.

2. Choose Setup Values

Resolve these values with the user or from clear repo evidence:

Decision Default Output
Issue tracker GitHub if a GitHub remote exists, otherwise local markdown docs/agents/issue-tracker.md
Triage labels Canonical labels equal role names docs/agents/triage-labels.md
Domain docs Single root context docs/agents/domain.md
Agent instructions file Existing AGENTS.md, else existing CLAUDE.md Updated ## Agent context block

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
